There’s just something about the Christmas in the Making stamp set that makes me happy. The nostalgic images just bring a smile to my face and this particular image with the cat was perfect for our No Peeking day for the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge. The lady looks like she is holding that present…
If you want a cute and fun stamp set then Jolly Words is one for you. With 3 very cute images which can be simply stamped or coloured in such as I’ve done on this card, this set exudes fun. I created this card on my 12 Weeks of Christmas series a couple of weeks…
I’ve drifted a touch from Nostalgic November and haven’t used any retired products for Day 9 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge. However, I could stretch it and say I did use Blueberry Bushel which is a returning colour so it’s a bit nostalgic! I cut a Kraft notecard into 2.5 cm strips and…

My initial thought was postage letters and we have a lovely stamp set in our current Mini Catalogue called the Stamped with Love set which would have been perfect. One problem, I didn’t have it.

For Day 6 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge I’ve used one of my all time favourite stamp sets – Christmas in the Making. This particular image came straight to my mind as soon as I saw the theme of Topping the Tree. This lady reminds me of my mum – she used to…
Today’s sketch for the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge had me in a bit of a quandary. I wasn’t quite sure what 3 elements I was going to use for the entire design to be cohesive. In keeping with using retired sets for Nostalgic November I chose the Signs of Santa stamp set. The Santa was coloured in Bubble…
For Day 4 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge we have a colour palette inspiration using Night of Navy, Pool Party and Lemon Lolly. I created a muted background by blending all 3 colours. Then I added the large rosette from the retired Bring on the Presents stamp set. Guess what? I hadn’t used…
Happy Friday! Bring on the weekend and perhaps some of you will be enjoying a long weekend. It’s Day 3 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge and we are Rockin’ Around. Today was lots of fun to create using the rocking horse from the retired Little Cuties stamp set. I had completely forgotten about…
